Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you to all the witnesses joining us on this important study.

My first question is for Achēv. Thank you, Tania, for the work you are doing on the ground in Brampton and across the GTA.

StatsCan has a report that says, “Immigrant women have fewer...social connections” than Canadian-born women. In your experience, how do newcomer women benefit from early integration? The last time I visited there, you were talking about the career pathways program. Can you explain what that was and how a newcomer can benefit from that early intervention?
